Another shocker of a day on Full Tilt. Ever since I did okay in a tournament a month ago I've had nothing but bad luck. That bad luck continued today. I had KK 4 times. 3 times it reuslted in me being knocked out. It is so predictable. I don't know how many countless times I had KK against ace-small and an ace comes. What is the chance of an ace hitting the board? 25%? It seems to be happening more than 50% of the time when i have KK.
I continued on having a series of bad beats today. If I am not folding cards I am playing and being beaten. For instance, I was short stacked and went all in with my pocket 4s after a flop of J-2-3. The big stack called me post flop. He was playing from middle position. Guess what he had? I knew I was risking a jack being in his hand but I had to take the chance. Well he had 2-3 in his hand. 2 bloody 3. This sort of thing always happens on Full Tilt. Sometimes I think some of the characters on that site have it figured out and once they get to big stack they just play everything because of the reinforcement of getting a lot of luck. It seems that some people are getting long periods of extremely good luck while I am getting the opposite.
I am finding lately that any time I have QQ, KK and AA I am losing a lot of chips and being knocked out of tournaments. Much of the time what happens is that someone else on the table has better pockets but if I get AA someone sucks out on a ridiculous hand. I played in 5 tournaments today and went out in all of them on bad beats. I barely saw a decent card and when I did have a monster hand someone had a bigger hand. Continuation bets don't work anymore. My opponents always catch their cards. No one seems to fold because everyone catches a part of the flop on FT.
For some reason, I continue to persevere with FT but I am getting to the end of my rope. It is just that reasonable doubt I have that perhaps I am misinterpeting my bad luck as bad play that keeps me there but the more I continue to get these bad beats the surer I am becoming.
